Song of the day.........The Fray with "Fall Away"

One of my favorites off of the debut album from The Fray. There are some really catchy tracks on that first album for sure......

Song of the day........Black Rebel Motorcycle Club with "Complicated Situation"

I remember seeing Black Rebel Motorcycle after their debut album was released. Saw them open up for the Dandy Warhols, and then saw them a few months later at this little bar "Lion's Lair" in Denver. Just a great band. Playing rock music that sounds very retro. Sounds like some of the early stuff from the Stones...... Today's song of the day is a track off of their second album "Howl." This one's called "Complicated Situation."

Song of the day.............Metallica with "Enter Sandman"

I think I appreciate this band now more than I did in the '90's.....Always kind of liked their music, but had more appreciation for them when they released the "Load" album. That had some different things going on with it that really sounded great....... That kind of got me into some of their older stuff including the black album....... Here's one of the hits off of that album.

Song of the day.........Metric with "Help I'm Alive"

This is one of my favorite songs from the last five years..... This guy that I used to work made a mix-CD that we always used to listen to at work, and this was one of the tracks that was on it. The first time I heard it I just thought that it was amazing. I still listen to it and love all the parts of it...... Just a great pop rock song.... Check out this song from Metric....

Song of the day.........Wilco with "Either Way"

This may be my favorite opening song to any album that I own to be honest. It's just so absolutely beautiful!! The way that the song builds.....Everything just sounds so good. You can hear each individual instrument and they each contribute to make this beautiful piece of music. The entire "Sky Blue Sky" album is fantastic, but it starts with this great tune. Check it out.....

Song of the day........Save Ferris with "Sorry My Friend"

How about some ska for your Tuesday? Everybody likes ska, right? Not necessarily. I really don't know if I like this all that much.......but give it a listen and see what you think.

Song of the day............Cake with "Frank Sinatra"

This is one of my favorite tracks from Cake's "Fashion Nugget" album. I just love the trumpet, and lead guitar parts in this. Just really well done. The video for today's song of the day comes from one of the Late Show with David Letterman concerts. He has done a lot of online concerts when bands come to play on the late show, and there are a bunch of them on Youtube. Some really great performances.........this one is no different.

Frank Black with "Pure Denizen of the Citizens Band"

Frank Black has written some great songs as a solo artist. This is just another example of some of his great solo material. This track if off of his 1994 album "Teenager of the Year." Enjoy.
